Chapter 418 Mercenary Career

In any case, Zhang Qiang had to go to Kurau City to help Rod Laboye fight.

Bringing his own general guard, two knight orders, and the direct army, a total of more than 600 people, Zhang Qiang appeared in Vickia's Kurau City.

Along the way, several Sultanates of Sarande, the troops of the low-ranking lords of the new King Sarande, thwarted the harassment of the Kurau territory.

He has won the favor of many Vikia villages. With the title of mercenary of Lord Rod Lapoye, after gaining the favor of Vikia village, Zhang Qiang also recruited some Vikia militiamen to increase the number of troops. strength.

By the time they arrived at Kulau City, Zhang Qiang's team had grown into a huge team of 760 people.

To be honest, he has never led such a large team.

No need to think about it, the marching speed of the team is slow, the morale of the team is low, and the team is not easy to manage. There are conflicts like this one after another. Zhang Qiang's general guards exhausted their energy just to solve these conflicts, and the mercenaries are not easy to restrain. The newly recruited soldiers of Vikia don't have a sense of identity with you. After all, they don't belong to the same kingdom. These people haven't been integrated and trained. That would be a disaster for the team.

In addition, the food that the team needs to consume, the number of horses has increased, and the military expenditure that needs to be spent has also increased.

But this can't be a problem. The strength of the team has increased dramatically. The advantage is that no one is harassing him. What's more, when he arrives in Kurau City, the enthusiasm on the face of Rod Laboya who greets him can make Zhang Qiang feel at a loss. He is too enthusiastic.

Going out of the city ten miles to meet, well-dressed and high-standard, it is such a great face for an earl to welcome a viscount.

When entering Kurau City, Zhang Qiang felt that something was wrong. The entire Kurao City was almost deserted, the citizens fled, the merchants stopped coming to the city, and the citizens and merchants who barely stayed in the city also became pale and emaciated, with dull eyes , Walking numbly on the street, the shops on both sides of the street are closed, only a few are open for business, the people walking on the street are patrolling city guards, and there are occasional thieves and hooligans.

Business is withered, people's livelihood is stagnant, only the army is still full of energy, because if there is a war, they will have more money.

Rod Laboye's smile disappeared from his face when he walked into the castle hall in the inner city of Kurau.

In the castle hall, there were only a dozen low-ranking lords and knights, and an earl, the son of the earl Srod Laboye, Mamunboye.

Rhode LaPoyer sat on the throne, "Viscount Zhang Qiang, you have also seen that because of the betrayal of the Voldelat Poyer family, the Kingdom of Vikia is facing a serious crisis, and the security situation in the northwest of Vikia is under threat." The threat of the Sultanate of Sarande was eliminated, and the situation is even more serious now.

King Jaloger was not able to take care of the safety of Kurau City in the face of King Ragnar's threat. Although his Zhiwading City was also under considerable threat, he still took Most of the lords went to Djerbo Castle, wanting to deal with the threat to the Nord Kingdom first. "

Zhang Qiang crossed his arms and sat on a chair, listening to him. When he finished speaking, Zhang Qiang said: "I know the situation you are facing, but it has nothing to do with me. I am just your mercenary. You still Tell me, what do you want to do next?"

Rod Laboye thought for a while, "Currently there are only more than 1000 defenders left in Kurau City, and my 600 soldiers, plus the [-] soldiers of my son Mamun Boye, and the soldiers under me. The lord's about [-] soldiers, my idea is to stick to Kurau City and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy under Kurau City."

"Why don't we take the initiative?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Mamunboye interjected: "There are more lords in the Voldelatpoye family than us, and the territory controlled by Avar, the Pearl of Light, is larger than ours. In terms of military resources, we cannot compete with them. All of our The village territory has been looted, and it will be very difficult to recover, at least a few months, and this time is enough for the lords of the Sarande Sultanate to capture Kurau City several times, so my father had to ask other people outside the kingdom The lord of the kingdom asked for help, and so far, you are the only lord who has promised to help us."

Rod Laboye waved his hand in annoyance, "Don't think about it, they won't come, the messengers have already returned, and they told me that they don't have the time and energy to help us fight a war that is doomed to fail."

Mamunboye clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "These nasty guys are always unable to help at critical times."

"Can I know what kind of enemy we will face?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The Voldelatpoyer family, as well as the rise of adventurers like you, are very powerful. Those adventurers helped Aval persuade Voldelatpoyer to betray Viki. Suba Kingdom, go and help that witch restore the country."

Zhang Qiang touched his chin, so someone walked ahead of him and accepted Avar's task of restoring the country.

To be honest, he doesn’t want to play the task of restoring the country. Yarn, after fighting for a long time, the king still belongs to others. If you win the country for them, they can fire you.

"What's so great about them?" Zhang Qiang wanted to find out the reality of these people who might come from the real world.

Mamunboye said: "These people are like wizards, demagogic, and their weapons and equipment are quite powerful. In addition, their tactics are simply incomprehensible to us. Our soldiers were defeated by them as soon as they went up. .”

In this way, Zhang Qiang wanted to meet these people.

"Where did the recent fighting take place? Where might we reconnect with the enemy?"

Rod Laboye shook his head, "I don't know either. The initiative is completely in the hands of the enemy. We don't know where their next war will start. We tried to attack the enemy's big city, Kudan City, but the enemy It’s too powerful, we almost lost half of our elite troops, but we can’t even go up the city wall.”

This aroused Zhang Qiang's interest even more.

The two sides talked for a long time, and Zhang Qiang returned to the barracks where his army was stationed in Kudan City.

At the same time, he also went to see his two factories. Needless to say, the production of the factories had come to a standstill. Due to the war, there was a shortage of materials, ore raw materials could not come in, and the products produced could not be sold. The original stock of raw materials was exhausted.

This almost cut off one of his sources of income. Even if Rod Laboye didn't invite him, he would have to come. This place is very important to him. Although he also has investments in other places, the smelting of black iron ore, Only here.
